Small Animal Massage Therapy
A therapeutic deep tissue massage will increase circulation, thereby aiding the flow of oxygen throughout the muscle system.
The Science of Massage
Much has been written about the importance of good nutrition to maintain our animal’s health and well-being. A healthy diet is only one part of the equation.
Optimum function is derived from the combination of glucose, from food, and oxygen, which is carried through the bloodstream. The joining of these two elements gives our pet the fuel for movement. Any disruption in the free flow of oxygen will have an impact on this movement.
Illness or injury, overexertion, lack of exercise or the aging process can all lead to circulation issues that will effect maximum efficiency of movement. Once movement is compromised, the muscle system becomes stressed and the possibility for additional problems exists.

Massage as Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is most often applied after an injury. Massage can be a valuable component of physical therapy. However, we as therapists believe that an animal does not have to wait to be injured to be helped by massage.
Dogs are natural athletes
Sports massage is a deep tissue massage technique that addresses the issues that an athlete may face. The muscle system is, after all, the system that is responsible for movement. Anything requiring movement depends on well- functioning muscle. A muscle contracts 2/3 its length. If a muscle is 6 inches long, it will contract 4 inches. If a muscle becomes stressed (due to use or misuse) that muscle will shrink in length, thereby shortening the contraction.
